I work in the electronics repair industry repairing all types of electronic devices, from high voltage drives
to microprocessor boards. It is not always easy to find the right information on electronic components and manufacturers.
With this mind I have set up CliveTEC in order to speed up this process.

Site update

02/09/05
Finally I have completed my first major update of the SMD Marking Codes pages.
There are now nearly twice as many codes listed here than on any other site, nearly 8000 in fact. Please check it out
and donít forget to bookmark this site if you haven't already.
Not only that but I have also completely revamped the MOSFET Cross Reference pages as well.

This site is expanding weekly if not daily so keep coming back to check its progress.

Getting the most from this site

CliveTEC Pages
Under the heading PAGES are links to the different CliveTEC pages that I have created for this site as
listed below:

SMD Marking Codes
If you are looking for surface mount device (SMD) information /SMD Marking Code identification then check out the
SMD Marking Codes section. there are nearly 8000 SMD Marking Codes listed
here and more are being added daily.

MOSFET Cross Reference
If you need to find an alternative to that old MOSFET then MOSFET Cross Reference
is the place to look. Not only that but all listed devices have their characteristics and package type
listed too.
Manufacturers LogosIf you can see a logo on the semiconductor device you are after, but don't know who manufactured it.
Then check out the Logos and Links pages A-G,
H-Q, R-Z. Find the logo and
click on the link to take you straight to the manufacturer's home page.

Hobby Pages
The Hobby section is where you will find information on various types of components
and is aimed at the amature as well as the professional.
I am continuing to add pages to this section, but so far these include pages on Resistors, Capacitors,
Diodes, Transistors and a MOSFET Cross Reference, which I believe is quite unique on the web.
I intend to add futher pages on IC's, Relays and lots more devices plus
package details for both standard and surface mount devices (SMD).

3 Phase Wiring
To bring the UK more in line with the rest of Europe, the electrical wiring colour scheme has changed.
From the 1st of April 2004 you will be allowed to use these new colours in fixed wiring installations.
You can still use the old colours but only up to 1st April 2006.
Check my new page 3 Phase Wiring for more details.

Datasheet Sources This section is for locating datasheets. I may add my own PDF
files here at some point in the future, but until then you check out
Datasheet Archive or
Datasheet Catalog. At
Doom.com you will need to give an email address to obtain a weeks
free trial of this site. For current production components
AmericanMicroSemi can be very good also.
There are some good pages of
Transistor Data here.
If you can't find the required datasheet on any of these sites then using the Google search box below
type in "LM741 datasheet" for example; you will get more meaningful links than if you were to leave out
the word "datasheet".
If you really want the LM741 datasheet you can download it from here.
You can also search CliveTEC by clicking on the CliveTEC radio button, but not all pages have been indexed yet
I hope that they will have been indexed by the end of June.

Component SourcesIf you have tried your usual sources and drawn a blank, try doing a search on
Net Components (membership required), as this will
usually supply a list of electronic component suppliers and distributors for the components that
you are looking for. Or, checkout the manufacturers website for a list of local suppliers / distributors.
You can also check on Dial Electronics or as an
amature Maplin holds a very good range.

Company SearchThis last section can be used to find phone numbers and addresses of UK company's. You can also do a
search for different kinds of manufacturers i.e.. "RESISTORS" "CAPACITORS" etc. This can be very useful
if you are after a special one off component, as you can often get a sample sent Free Of Charge.
Try Applegate or Kellysearch
and if all else fails there is always good old Yellow Pages.

If you would like to contribute to the SMD Marking Codes or MOSFET Cross Reference pages, please email
me with your pdf, jpg or whatever proof so that I can add your details.
If you have any comments or if there are other recourses that you would like to see added to this site,
your suggestions will be more than welcome.
